Somewhere I have an entire box of long boxes for no damn discernible reason whatsoever. They’re flattened and tied in a bundle like newspapers in a box of crap. No idea why I kept them.

I *think* a lot of that was to be able to use existing retail flip bins held over from records, but a little bit of anti-shoplifting tech borrowed from cassettes too.
Christ, they went from those ridiculous things to the even MORE ridiculous plastic holders that were just as big. It was like, for a time, the music industry was hell bent on being as needlessly wasteful as possible.

fantastic first trio.
i think my 3rd - 10th CDs were all in the same batch from that Columbia Music House pyramid scheme. I remember getting some Eve 6, Matchbox Twenty, Offspring, Everclear all in one box once and being thrilled. I also weirdly just remembered I had an Arizona Iced Tea discman that I would listen to everything on in bed or in the car.

First CD: Damn Yankees in a long box
Cassette: got Parents Just Don't Understand and I Think We're Alone Now cassingles at the same time.
Vinyl: Smurf Xmas or the gremlins read along books from Hardee's.
Vinyl resurgence: I never stopped buying Vinyl cause I was mostly into indie bands who did tour only 45s and the like so I was still buying vinyl exclusives.

My first two CDs: Counting Crows - August and Everything After, and Soundgarden - Superunknown.
I think there was also some sort of Christian rock album my mom got for me around the same time… might have listened to it once

Well, didn't plan to, but bought the bundle. Figured it was worth it for the free shipping. I loved this album when it came out. I don't think it held up as well as I'd like the last time I played the cd, but still one I want for the collection.Go quick

Never got a beer when I visited, but now that you mention it I do remember seeing tappers in the back corner!Strictly Discs in Madison-speaking of WI locals, did you go to Atomic back in the day? I still really miss that place -probably my favorite store ever.
Sadly Atomic closed just before I moved to Milwaukee. I've heard far too many good stories from others about it, though.

I actually found a sealed long box of a Barbershop DVD at a thrift store a few years ago. I didn't even know they did that
